I'm glad they included a fire emoji after "self-imolated" I wasn't sure if that involved fire or not
Holy shit I hadn't clicked yet and hoped you were joking. I'm sure they mean well but I find that really disturbing, what a weird use of emoji...
There are probably quite a few people who dont know what "immolate" means, so maybe its intended for those.
Hmm. While I can see that and appreciate the inclusiveness of it, it still feels like the wrong choice to me. Maybe times are changing (obviously) and I need to get used to emojis being used in a more serious tone? But I don't know... Are we there yet?
No i agree that it was used poorly, also because that emoji is usually used for exiting/positive things. I was just trying to throw out ideas, as to why it might have been used.
